The finest in Parisian skin care on the central coast.
Owner and esthetician of A French Touch Parisian Skincare Salon, Patricia Kaspian, recently wrote a piece for Tolosa Press on the dangers of sun damage and how to protect your skin not only from skin cancer, but also from damage which causes visible aging. Click image to view the full-size article!
Obtaining seriously younger-looking skin is possible, but there are often misconceptions about the process. A common one we hear is that astonishing results may only be achievable through intense treatments from a doctor or dermatologist that have a long recovery time, cause irritation, or require surgery. The truth, however, is that there are alternative options that provide visible results.
Jan Marini’s Glycolic Resurfacing Peel is a medically endorsed, viable alternative to chemical peels, avoiding discomfort and recovery time while still providing dramatic results.
In my experience over the past 12 years in the skincare industry, Jan Marini 40% Glycolic Acid Peels have provided clients with the results they desire. These glycolic acid peels work wonders on reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation, and are a gentle procedure requiring zero recovery time. And because they provide visible results, you can bet our clients include this anti-aging treatment in their regular skincare regimen.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND GLYCOLIC ACID PEELS
Glycolic acid, which is naturally derived from sugar cane, is the most effective alpha-hydroxy acid for anti-aging concerns because of its small molecular weight. Its molecular size allows it to dissolve the “glue-like” substance that causes buildup in the skin’s stratum corneum (the outer layer of the skin), providing deep penetration and exfoliation.
As we age our stratum corneum cannot shed as efficiently, so it builds up over time, creating a common skin issue known as corneocyte cohesion. Corneocyte cohesion results in thick, dry, and coarse skin that plays a pivotal role in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Jan Marini’s 40% Glycolic Acid Peel lifts away these dead, thickened layers without wounding the skin.
EXPECT MORE COLLAGEN AND LESS LINES
The science behind Jan Marini’s 40% glycolic acid peels provides visible results, including:
MEDICAL VALIDATION
Medical studies confirm that when the skin receives a series of glycolic peels, along with a home care program that includes glycolic acid and retinol, the cumulative action results in the encouragement of collagen as well as glycosaminoglycans responsible for epidermal volume, thus substantially increasing firmness and lessening the appearance of deeper lines.
WHY SPRING IS THE BEST TIME
The Jan Marini Glycolic Resurfacing Peel Series is recommended twice annually as a series of six treatments for a deep “beauty boost,” ideally following summer and winter climate damage and dehydration. Get rid of winter dullness to reveal luminous skin!

The new year is a time for renewal, and your skin is no exception!
During winter, your skin’s regeneration slows down and it needs to boost its defense system in order to restore its soft, luminous surface. Usher in the cold winter months with this new limited edition facial designed to nourish and hydrate the skin. This seasonal Apple Blackberry Facial refreshes in three ways: oxy-mineral treatment, exfoliation, and aromatherapy.
The millions of toxins that are produced by your skin on a daily basis suffocate it, but this oxy-mineral treatment contains multi-functional antitoxins and a cocktail of minerals to help your skin cope with the attacks of winter and restore its radiance. The boost of oxygen helps your skin breathe and minerals provide it with a vital source of energy.
The two-in-one mask exfoliant is a scrub and mask in one product – the scrub removes impurities from the skin and the mask provides more oxygen. Rich in pink clay, it supplies softness and radiance to the skin.
Be immersed in the scents of the season with delicious and refreshing notes of apple and blackberry as you relax and allow your skin to be revitalized.
Through January, enjoy this limited edition facial for $85 (a $95 value) in addition to receiving a complimentary serum for at-home treatment and continued radiance.
